We searched and searched for a wonderful, affordable, pet friendly place to stay, while exploring Glacier National Park. Luckily, God had already figured out, the best place on the west side entrance. We called and the staff was friendly and accommodating, where others were not. This resort has everything, there’s a place to go fishing, that you can walk to. They have free firewood and a beautiful fire ring. Corn hole games, weights, lawn chess, horse shoes, picnic tables, outdoor chairs, a tavern and live music on Saturday. I would stay here , every time I visit this part of this Beautiful state. We’re from Indiana, the hospitality state. The folks here , at this resort, are amazing. They’ve made us feel like family from the time we got here!! Love Devin,Donna And Dave and the staff!! So much that, when I get back home. I’m going to start harvesting and storing my gardens and I’m sending it here to Miss Donna Love you all! I give this place a 10 star rating!! Thanks for the hospitality
Who wouldn't love these amazing cute little cabins! They are definitely worth the price (if you can get one before they are all booked up!) my boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights during off season and had a great experience. Perfect location. Everyone inside working the front is SUPER nice and really helpful. The foods not too bad either! Fries were delicious :)
This couldn't have been a more perfect family overnight! We spent time here with kids ages 8&9 and it really was perfect. The gathering of the cabins around the central fire meant that our kids met and played with the neighbor kids all evening and we had a nice time chatting with our fellow travelers. There was also live music, comfortable rooms, welcoming front porches...the only difficulty was a bit of confusion on finding someone to help us check in, but it was straightened out in ten minutes and the rest of our stay was fantastic. Highly recommended for families!
As a guy who made an impromptu decision to come up from Salt Lake City after the tourist season was over… this place was perfect. They weren’t even open when I arrived but came to assist me. I can’t speak highly enough for them. Cabin7 had two beds, a full bathroom, Wi-Fi, tv, a mini fridge and microwave. What more do you need? Someone referred to the trains… that lonesome sound is very majestical as it echos through the valley…i persona enjoyed it. Thank y’all for the place to stay and for the cold beer on my last night! You guys rock.
Awesome food (for its location). Very comfortable beds, not recommended for families bigger than 4 (unless you get a second cabin). Reasonably priced. They actually have wifi in a cell phone dead zone. It could be stronger so it reaches the cabins, but otherwise, it works! Staff were nothing but polite, knowledgeable and courteous. I will be coming back here again!
Great stay! Stayed in cabin #7, with 2 beds and a bathroom. Great use of space, comfortable beds and nice towels. Restaurant had limited options, but had pizza and beer twice, perfect after hiking! Internet only available in The Tavern, but nice to disconnect.
